Combining Advanced Techniques for Your Holistic Well-being.

Cold Laser Therapy

Therapeutic Laser can help many patients achieve drug-free, non-invasive pain therapy for a range of common conditions. Laser is useful for restoring normal cellular function. It can provide resolution to non healing wounds. In addition to direct healing applications, low level lasers also provide an alternative needle-free acupuncture or myofascial dry needling options.

Infrared Thermal Imaging

Infrared Thermal Imaging is available as an adjunct to the physical examination. This may be particularly useful in the visual mapping of thermal physiology changes in more complex chronic pain conditions, it also a very useful tool as a general body scan in many health conditions.

Musculoskeletal Therapy (Myotherapy)

Myotherapy is a very effective form of physical therapy treatment for most common musculoskeletal conditions that result from improper posture, poor biomechanics and injury. In short: Myotherapy helps people in pain to move better, feel better and learn effective ways to manage pain and discomfort.

Myofascial Dry Needling

Similar to acupuncture but involves insertion of a filiform needle into tissue (muscle, tendon, ligament, bursae, fat pad) that is either causing or contributing to pain. The needle initiates both a local response (at the point of insertion) and neurological response (at the spinal cord) which has analgesic effects and promotes local healing.

Electromuscular Dry Needling

A similar technique to Myofascial Dry Needling, with the addition of electrotherapy. An electrical current is applied to the muscle and/or tendons via the inserted microfilament needles at varied frequency, dependent on the presenting condition and desired results. This helps to reduce the sensitivity of those nerves, giving relief from symptoms, increasing range of motion and reducing neural tension.

Auriculotherapy & Vagus Nerve Stimulation

Vagus nerve stimulation via the external ear using electronic devices has been shown to increase the “relaxation response” of the parasympathetic nervous system and reduce fight-or-flight stress responses driven by the sympathetic nervous system. Conditions which may be treated include chronic pain & inflammation, depression, anxiety, stress, insomnia, migraines, gut issues, autoimmune conditions, addictions and more.
